Coeur d’Alene Bike Trip - Day 6

I got up early and packed up, including putting the folded-up bike in the car hatch.

I left at about 6 am and stopped at a cafe along the way for breakfast, getting to the hotel in Spokane at about 2 pm. It’s about 85 deg today and feels humid, and a continuing heat wave in the west means it looks like I’ll be having some pretty hot bike rides. Luckily on a bike there is always a breeze which helps immensely.

In Spokane I crossed the street to the Davenport, a super fancy old hotel where the nice young front desk man gave me a temporary pass to go up to the 4th floor terrace. I sat up there sipping a Long Island Iced Tea, on a sweltering day, watching the trains go by. Heaven!
